Runnin'
Blood Orange Georgia Anne Muldrow Lyrics

Demons on my neck, neck
I feel burdened by my inner struggles and negative thoughts that constantly haunt me

Summer take a toll
The season of summer is wearing me down emotionally

Glam in my eye shine bright on my soul
An inner radiance or confidence is reflecting positively on my overall well-being

Girls awful wet slip, fall, break the pain
Women, perhaps myself included, experience emotional and physical hardships that lead to pain and suffering

And the same anxiety's coming up again
I am facing recurring anxiety that continues to resurface

I've been losing out on something
I am feeling like I am missing out on a significant aspect or experience in life

So I'm told by my friends
My friends have informed me about this sense of loss

Runnin' in circles
I'm constantly engaging in repetitive or futile actions

Looking for something to hold on
I am desperately searching for stability or something to anchor myself

Knowing there's nowhere to go
Despite my efforts, I am aware that there is no clear direction or solution

And it's harder to be on your own (so hard)
It becomes increasingly challenging to face life's difficulties alone

And it's hard when the night owns your soul
The darkness or negative aspects of life have a significant hold over me

And it's harder to think on your own
It becomes increasingly difficult to make decisions or think independently

You're runnin' on my mind
You occupy a significant amount of my thoughts and mental space

Yeah, you're runnin' on my mind
Your presence or influence constantly lingers in my thoughts

And the summer is taking it all (I know you're runnin' on my mind)
The emotional toll of the summer season is overwhelming, and you are a major factor in that

It all
All of these emotions and thoughts are overwhelming

You brought it to me, you got it all
You are responsible for bringing these intense emotions and experiences into my life

You and your soul are never not one
You and your innermost self are inextricably connected

I said, you and yourself are never not one
I reiterate that you and your true self are inseparable

Whoa, rise and shine
A call to awaken, to embrace a new day with positivity and energy

Hold on, yes
An encouragement to persevere and not give up

You gonna be okay, you gonna be okay
Assurance that everything will eventually be alright

Everybody goes through it
These struggles and challenges are universal, impacting everyone

Just hold on to your mighty way of being
Maintain your strong and resilient nature amidst the struggles

Live for the floor
Find joy and purpose in the present moment, in living life fully

If I called you would you answer me?
If I reached out to you for support or connection, would you respond?

So, you were, like, talking about this idea of being called upon
You were discussing the concept of someone reaching out to you

And for some reason the first thing I heard was, like this
Unexpectedly, my initial reaction was to imagine a particular scenario

Faint, irritating, incessant buzzer
A metaphorical representation of a bothersome and persistent interruption or reminder

And I think I heard it three times in my life
There have been three significant instances when I've experienced this metaphorical interruption

The first was, was within myself
The initial occurrence was an inner realization or awakening

Um, to stop pretending
A realization to stop pretending to be someone I am not

To stop performing in ways that people wanted me to
To reject the pressures of conforming to others' expectations

To actually show up for myself
To prioritize and fully embrace my authentic self

And to be myself
To genuinely express my true identity
